Summary of important things that I did in 2020-2021 years

Due to piling up routine I got to writing 2020 year sum-up only in the end of 2021.
So it will be both 2020 and 2021 years sum-up.

• One health issue solved.
• We travelled a lot in Thailand by car.
• I organized bunch of Bangkok’s DevOps Fridays, created an interesting community of great engineers.
• We moved to a much better apartment (better for us and for kids) near a park :)
• covid-19 wasn’t that bad in Thailand, but still there was a lot of sitting at home due to lockdown, curfews and restrictions.

Most interesting/inspiring people I met during 2019 years:

• Arthi Jaganathan - Principal Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services (AWS). I was amazed by Arthi sheer amount of knowledge in AWS and IT engineering and ability to learn new things. Something unknown? Let’s do POC. Okay - it’s known now :) I was really inspired to learn new things by her approach.

New hobby this year:

• I realize that I really like to look at street art :)

Two might-have-been dream in this year:

• I could sleep 8 hours per day - but I constantly find some excuses.
• I could walk 8000 steps every day - but I often find some excuses.

What did not go well

• I didn’t sleep enough in 2021 year, I should fix this as soon as possible.
• I didn’t do much programming during 2021.
• I got my weight back to ~105 kg from <= 95 kg :'(
  • Mostly because I couldn’t go out for a walk during covid-19 lockdowns.

What went well

• Our daughter Lina was born, healthy and sound :)
  • So over 2020-2021 our son Ilya and daughter Lina are growing and bring us a lot of joy :)
• My wife’s sister travelled to Thailand and stay with us for 8 months :)
  • She helped a lot with Lina.
• I went to several really interesting trainings about application security, DevOps and AWS.
• We moved to a new apartment near the park
  • And our kids got a lot of new friends
• We travelled in Thailand to (despite all the covid-19 stuff):
  • Koh Chang
  • Rayong
  • Krabi
  • Khao Lak
  • Phuket
  • Chiang Rai
  • Chiang Mai
  • Nakhon Ratchasima
• I travelled in Thailand (despite all the covid-19 stuff):

  • Ubon Ratchatani
  • Khon Kaen
  • Udon Thani
  • Bueng Kan
• I finally sold my previous car, facebook marketplace paid advertisement is your friend.

• I finally wrote this 2020-2021 sum-up and I’m very proud of myself :)
